Today we are celebrating our first birthday! 🍰🎈

As it's been a very busy year – full of new community members, new features, and more – we've written up a summary of all the things that have happened.

And to give all of you a small gift: If you press the *Check Updates* button in the 2026.05.06 version of CoMaps, you'll find some freshly updated maps that were quietly released for you yesterday!

yes and no: Until now you would first download a new app version, and then inside the app update the maps. But so far, you never would get newer maps without first updating the app (maybe you didn't notice because of having auto-app-updates enabled?)

From now on, you don't have to update the app version first, in regular intervals there'll be new maps available in-app!

Release 2026.05.06 is out on Codeberg, F-Droid, iOS, and soon on Google Play and brings a big new feature:

From this version onward, updating the map files of CoMaps is no longer tied to updating the app. Which means we can bring you fresh #openstreetMap based maps more often!

To allow all of our users to download offline maps reliably and quickly, we need servers in many different locations. Some of these servers are rented, thanks to the donations we get.

But some of them are also hardware donations, where we are allowed to use otherwise underused hardware! A big thanks go to Mathias Klein as well as the French OpenStreetMap chapter [@osm_fr](https://fr.osm.social/@osm_fr ), who provide us with server capacities in Germany and France respectively!

yeah, not all feature types that are displayed are also enabled on the CoMaps editor. But good on finding out how to add it via the iD editor.

Okay, so I think I found the issue: If neither the GPS nor the "Fused Location" works, then the MicroG location service might fall back to using IP-based location. Andd I guess in your case the IP your phone gets from your mobile phone provider locates to there!

glad to hear it works outside the train at least. It's strange it only affected CoMaps, let's see if we can get to the ground of it!

oh, very good suggestion, will add that to the list too! 😊

Oh, do you have the "fused location" setting turned on? It then takes into account things like WiFi and Bluetooth signals. And it could be that the on-board wifi is saved in the "fused location database" as being in Stockholm!

that is very strange. Would you be able to create a log file of your usage and email it to us? The instructions for that are here: https://www.comaps.app/support/how-do-i-enable-logs/

That would help debugging what is going on! (As a head's up: the log files will contain the GPS location data)

For our social media posts, release notes etc. we often need CoMaps map screenshots. And to reflect our global community a bit better, we'd love to showcase locations that YOU think would make a great release/social media feature image.

Send us a link (either to the place on https://OSM.org or via the CoMaps share function), and we'll try to feature those places in upcoming release notes, social media pages, etc!
